FAQ

1. Is your apple cider pasteurized?

2. Can cider be frozen?

Yes cider can be frozen. Just remove about a cup to allow for expansion room and freeze. Use within 1 year.

3. How should apples be stored?

To preserve the quality of your apples once you take them home. You should refrigerate them in the plastic bag.

Varieties vary in shelf life and because our apples are picked at their peak of freshness they should be used as soon as possible.
